Probably in much the same way that the seats in the other states will be re-drawn to make them as Blue as possible, so it will not even out, but at least Texas will remain Texas.
That said, given what the Democrats are doing, seats may be entirely inconsequential going forward. This may all be a huge waste of time.
Democrats are committed to the idea that politicians shouldn't choose their voters. They have fought in court over it and the SCOTUS decided gerrymandering is fine, even many egregious examples.
The GOP has always been on board with this. Why I'll never understand. The only excuse you ever get is "Dems do it too!"
As if Democrats should just lay down arms and not participate in the practice and let the GOP gerrymander every state to oblivion out of principle or something.

Do you mean in terms of granting DC and Puerto Rico statehood, or reallocating representatives based on population?
